Please use cpuminer. The pool websites should have instructions of where to download and what command to run. We're scrapping simpleminer from future releases because it's obsolete. |

Pick a pool near you, with a name you like, or whatever, and check the "Getting Started" page. There's a CPUminer for Win64/Linux and a GPUminer for newer AMD cards, you can even CPU and GPU mine on the same PC for extra hashes! |
Currently donating all of our 1% pool fee to the dev fund - mine at CryptonotepoolUK and support XMR at no extra cost! |

Depends on the gear...100h/s+ for a cpu is good, for a gpu 200+. |

But the sell order is for 0.0035 while the current price is 0.0018 and has been near that for a few days. Yes it is a shit load of coins.
Meanwhile at Poloniex....

ok another newb question, I run bitmonroed app to get the blockchain updated, run the simplewallet, and mine. After the blockchain said it was updated, I came back a while later to see the block chain window was all red text, so I stopped it, but it started from 5 days back again. Any suggestions? Also do I have to keep both the walllet and the blockchain window running while im mining?

If you're mining with cpuminer on a pool, then no, you don't need to keep wallet and bitmonerod running (just remember to save both of them before exiting, or it might take quite a while to load when you open them again). Also, the wall of red text is OK, just some p2p messages, shouldn't affect anything. |

When you close bitmonerod, that is the daemon where you saw the red text, type the command "exit" and it will save the blockchain so you only have to resync from when you saved it. I do the same with the wallet. |

Guys this coin has so much potential. we really need a GUI wallet, this is a huge priority right now. the average person needs to be able to save there coins on there own computer. leaving them on exchanges is risky. and i dont think million dollar investors want to bring out ms dos command lines, it just makes this feel really unprofessional. Im willing to fund it, im sure many more are also, we need to crowd fund someone to smash out a GUI wallet.
You guys are forgetting what monero is, its a coin, a currency, which needs to be easily used. how many people would use debit cards if you had to do a double backflip and solve a rubix cube in 10 seconds before you use it. none. we need ease of use. if the coins not usable then its nothing, just a chunk of irrelevant data in a blockchain.
If we have a 5million dollar market cap on a coin which is basically unusable to the average user, imagine what we could have with a professional approach to it? 100million? easy.
Currently Monero uses ~1.6gb - 2.2gb of RAM. Everyone has to run a full node, and if you have incoming ports (manually or via UPNP) Monero can easily max out a 20mbps line. Is that the experience we want to deliver to end users? The bandwidth issue should be easily solved with some kind of bandwidth-limiting feature like an option -bwuplimit 500 (kbps) -bwdownlimit 2000... The ram issue, ok. But keep in mind that in the future Monero can be FUD'ed by quoting posts that show GUI wasn't been implemented on purpose while other CN-coins had GUI. This would "imply" an artificial barrier of entry for "noobs" so that a select clique can profit from their tech-geekiness etc. So get a working GUI ready and just throw a window warning that this is beta software or something and problems are to be expected. Regarding implementation problems, try to fix those which would make Mintpal list and then de-list the coin due to re-occuring issues (crashing its price with panicked investors who can't even draw the money back to their wallets). These issues should be known by now through the Poloniex experience. |
